Lawndale Overview

If you want to live in the South Bay area of Los Angeles in a safe suburb that's not touristy like the nearby beach towns of Hermosa or Manhattan Beach—Take a look at apartments in Lawndale. With a population of less than 40,000 and a median age of 30 something, Lawndale is a great place to raise a family in an affordable part of South Bay. Truthfully, it's a lot of fun to be single here, too. It's easy to get around on foot or by bus if you don't want to drive. And of course, you're close to all the best beaches in Southern California.

What is the history of Lawndale?

Lawndale and the neighboring communities of Inglewood and Manhattan, Redondo, Hamilton, and Hermosa beaches were all part of cattle grazing pastures, once upon a time in the early to mid-1800s. In 1868 Robert Burnett bought the entire area for less than $30,000. He was a sheep farmer, however. And after losing most of his herd to drought, Burnett began dry farming, orchards, and raising barley. He also got into real estate selling subdivisions. In 1890, a seaport opened in Redondo. Soon, the area began incorporating with a railway that ran throughout Los Angeles and what is now Lawndale. Charles B. Hooper officially founded Lawndale in 1905. The city finally incorporated on March 3rd, 1948.

How is the weather in Lawndale?

If you want warm sunny weather, then you'll love Lawndale. The driest months are late March to late November, with very little chance of rain. You'll have a greater than 10 percent chance of a shower or two from December through late February when the chance of rain climbs up to 21 percent. Expect average daily temperatures between 50°F and 67°F. — from November through April. Then it'll get steadily warmer, reaching temperatures between 66°F. and 76°F from July through October when it starts cooling off again.

How do I get around town?

Lawndale's local bus, the Beat, offers two bus routes. One is a residential route, and the other is the express route. Both bus routes travel down major streets, such as Hawthorn, Rosecrans, Prairie, Inglewood, Marine, and Manhattan Beach Blvd. Of course, you can also hop on Metro on Artesia Blvd. and head down to the beach, or toward the city of Los Angeles.

What is the Lawndale commute like?

Heading north to South is I-405. You can expect it to be busy, as it's a major thoroughfare. It also connects to I-5. Between these two major (jam-packed) highways, you can go anywhere in-state or out of state. There's also Interstate 110 (Harbor Freeway) that runs from Glendale to Long Beach and the 105 freeway the passes over Registered Historical Landmark No. 6041, where, over 50 years ago, the Beach Boys, Brian, Carl, and Dennis Wilson created a sound in music that defined the Southern California dream. Still, the most scenic route close to Lawndale by far is Highway 101—Pacific Coast highway.

What are the local media outlets?

Read up on the local news in The Daily Breeze. There's also Herald publications, and everyone's favorite beach paper, The Easy Reader. Tune in to KTLA 5 to get all the latest news and live traffic updates. And if you want to listen to the radio, you have lots of options from public radio (KCRW) to Jazz (KKJZ), Top 40 (KAMP), Classic Rock (KLOS), Regional Mexican (KWIZ, Alternative (KYSR) music, and more.

You can't beat Lawndale apartments for living in Southern California.

What Lawndale landmarks should I see?

What is there to do around Lawndale?

Lawndale apartments are in a perfect location if you want to get out and enjoy the weather. Alondra Community Regional Park is a place you'll visit time and again. It's a 53-acre park designed with woods, a prairie, and a unique urban lake that serves the communities of Lawndale, Torrance, Gardena, Hawthorne, and unincorporated El Camino Village. Because of its ecosystem, it's a natural habitat for migratory wetland and upland birds as well as native butterflies. From fishing lakes to skate parks, basketball courts, baseball fields, and even swimming pools, there's something to do for everyone, too. Of course, you may just want to go shopping. Lucky for you, the South Bay Galleria Mall is close by in Redondo Beach.

Any annual festivals or Lawndale events to know?

Fiesta Hermosa is the biggest arts, crafts, and music festival in the South Bat area. The festival features an array of painters, photographers, and crafters on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday every Memorial Day and Labor Day Weekend in downtown Hermosa Beach. There's plenty to eat with a variety of cuisine in the food court and beer and wine garden. Plus, you'll get to listen to live music on two main stages. It's a family-friendly event too, with a Kiddie Carnival that features mechanical rides and games and even a 30-foot slide, pony rides, and face painters.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

When you live in apartments in Lawndale, you're minutes away from one of the most scenic drives in America, Pacific Coast Hwy, AKA Hwy 101. Head north toward San Francisco, or South to San Diego. There are hundreds of miles of coastlines to explore. With a wide range of terrains, all the way to the top of Washington state and down to Mexico. You can camp on a beach, spend the night in a seaside village, and experience stunning coastal views like you can't imagine. Not only that, but you'll also travel through forests and even have opportunities for some wine tasting along the way.

Where is the best place to move in Lawndale?

There are few things to keep in mind while you're searching for apartments in Lawndale. First, for safer neighborhoods, stay west of Crenshaw, and south of Redondo Beach Blvd, and Artesia Blvd. And of course, the further west you go, the closer you are to South Bay beaches. You'll find a range of Lawndale apartments and amenities from studios up to three-bedroom apartments to accommodate your growing family. For example, check out the Galleria Townhomes. They're in a prime location and offer a gorgeous style, including skylights and large closets—not to mention livability with all the appliances, including a full-size washer and dryer.
